Slimline SUV

摘要

Suzuki has arguably led the way in compact SUV/4×4 vehicles with their SJ, Jimny and Vitara, but lurking in the shadows is another Japanese off-roader that deserves equal credit. The Daihatsu Terios began production in 1997 and the second-generation, which is the car shown here, was manufactured between 2006 and 2017. We're looking at a 2007 model with a 1495cc twin-cam petrol engine mated to a four-speed automatic gearbox. All-wheel drive is delivered via a mid-mounted transfer box to a compact differential at the front and a traditional live axle at the rear.
